NASA had planned on studying the effects of weightlessness on vegetables, but the crew loaded Steven Hawking instead. NASA spokesman Tom Johnson said that while Hawking can't move on his own, clearly he can think and communicate so he's not a vegetable and besides thats not the type of vegetable they were talking about anyway. A committee has been formed to prevent this from happening again.

On a side note reporters asked Hawking what it was like to be out of his wheelchair and he said being crippled still pretty much sucks...even without the chair.

China collaborated with The Disovery Channels Pimp My Ride show to put the finishing touches on their lunar rover. In addition to the Gansta Gold paint it's riding on 8 inch Spyro Rims, has a 62 inch spoiler on the rear, a Blaupunkt stereo with 16 inch subwoofers and a Sony PS3 console. The vehicle will be featured in a new series about each country that has a lunar mission in the works that will be titled Pimp My Lunar Rover.

The shows creators had some trouble explaining why a lunar rover with a top speed of 1.3 mph needs a spoiler, why an unmanned mission needs a PS3 and a stereo, and they had a great deal of difficulty with the exact translation of "thats just how I rove bitch!" which they painted on the rear of the lunar module.
